I had been so focused on acting normal and avoiding unwanted attention that I had not been paying attention to the sort of attention I had been getting. As I replayed each of these little moments in my mind, I realized that Brittany was right. I could have been dating some amazing high school girls...they just hadn't been the women I was interested in. "Are you still there?" Brittany's voice brought me back. "Yeah, sorry about that," I mumbled. "I guess when this thing with...that older woman I told you about happened, it was all I was thinking about. I don't think I'm all that amazing, Brittany. I got all wrapped up in that...Let's be honest, here. I got laid, and that was all I was thinking about." "Was it really that amazing?" she breathed. "Absolutely," I replied without hesitation
